VEDA PALLI

LOCATION : NATARAJA TEMPLE, CHIDAMBARAM, TAMIL NADU. TYPE : INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING FACULTY : ROHAN SHIVKUMAR, VINEET | SEM VI

The Vedas, ancient Hindu texts, are categorized into four collections: Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samaveda, and Atharvaveda, containing hymns and rituals dedicated to deities. Additional essential Vedic texts include Upanishads, Brahmanas, and Aranyakas, impacting Indian thought. Archaeological proof like inscriptions and manuscripts reinforces Vedic literature’s existence.

Program:

Palli (school) for comprehensive Vedic learning, mainly for Diksheetars’ children. Expertled discourses and workshops offer in-depth insights. Yoga and meditation, integral to Vedic tradition, aid comprehension. A vast Vedic library housesW foundational texts, commentaries, and translations. Chanting, preserving original Vedic form and energy, involves distinct melodies for spiritual enhancement. Repetition aids memorization. Mindful chanting fosters spiritual connection and mindfulness, deepening divine interaction.

The Chidambaram Temple is distinctive due to its management system. Owned by a group of Brahmins known as Diksheethars, the temple lacks traditional endowments or allowances. The Diksheethar count has reduced from 3000 to 360 over time. The formal governing body, “Podu Diksheethars,” safeguards and administers the temple, where only Diksheethars can conduct worship. Efforts by the government since the 1960s aim to assume temple administration for tourism and commercial purposes. However, Diksheethars have consistently demonstrated their capability in management. To retain ownership, they need a unique strategy that differentiates them from the government’s approach. One potent approach is establishing a platform where the essence of traditional scriptures and the history of Diksheethars are comprehended and taught, rather than rote learning. This initiative could become their distinctive strength, setting them apart from government actions and securing their ownership rights.

TAILORING INSTITUTE

LOCATION : GOVANDI, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA

TYPE : INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING

FACULTY : SHAIL BAJARIA | SEM V

Located in Govandi, Mumbai, this project has a multifaceted mission. Its primary objective is to provide stable employment opportunities for migrants from other states who often find themselves working as rack pickers, offering them a path towards more secure livelihoods. Simultaneously, it seeks to invigorate the local economy by creating job opportunities within the community, fostering self-sufficiency, and promoting skill development, particularly in the art of tailoring. Additionally, the project aims to strengthen social bonds within the community and bridge connections with outsiders. Through these comprehensive efforts, it strives for holistic community development while promoting the “vocal for local” ethos, encouraging residents to support and engage in local businesses and initiatives.

BOTANICAL INSTITUTE

LOCATION : SGNP, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA TYPE : INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING FACULTY : SHREYA NAGRAJ | SEM IV

The Forest Department, in partnership with BNHS and other NGO’s plans to start a new Institute within the boundaries of the SGNP Forest. The Institute will act as a bridge between new research and the traditional knowledge of the tribal population of the forest area. It will act as a repository of this knowledge and a place of learning and disseminating this knowledge. It will also act as a research lab and a seed bank / experimentation center in new research for the Forest. The Institute is located in a Ecologically Fragile Environment of the Notified Forest of SGNP - as such, the Design and Construction methodology becomes critcal. It is as well clear that no other construction is allowed within the boundaries of the Notified Forest - and this is an important exemption. Thus, it is imperative that the project address environmental issues as well as issues of Sustainable construction and most importantly - critically respond to the Particular Geography of the Forest.

TECHNOLOGY PROJECTS

LOCATION : SGNP, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA TYPE : INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING FACULTY : MINAL YERRAMSHETTY | SEM V

The photos illustrated here is a speculative attempt to show the hierarchy and relationship of the two regular solids and their counterparts. It trace the same sequence of relationships between the 200 Platonic solids, the faces of all these solids are made up by the use of two ( geometrical figures the triangle, and the square ). The developments of each characteristic group of faces of these duals is shown in relation to the regular figure on which, if placed, it would make up the whole. We used ideas from 200 Platonic models to design an engaging playground for children.

LOCATION : PELHAR, MUMBAI, MAHARASHTRA TYPE : LANDSCAPE COLLABORATIVE WORK | SEM VI

Ground Floor Plan

First Floor Plan Roof Plan

The two residential buildings are dormitories for males and females. The ground floors are used as market where all the excess farm produce will be sold; on the other side we have a community kitchen. The buildings are built using hempcrete for walls and regular concrete for columns and slabs Behind the building we have a community gathering space which will be surrounded by phytoremediation plants used to treat the grey water from the building. The grey water is treated and used again for flushing stored in the UGT. The rainwater is carried down from the roof through a reed bed for filtering and finally emptying in the well on the northern side of the building

The farmlands are designed to cater to the needs of a minimum of 25 people.The plants that require comparatively less water are grown on the higher contour level as against the plants which require more water that are grown on the lower levels.The farm edges have natural fencing which add to the local produce as well as the aesthetics of the farm.

FARMS

The pond has been created to collect the excess water and letting it slowly seep into the ground while creating a beautiful experience for the users around.Set beside the trail under the trees,it acts as a place where people can sit and appreciate nature. It provides a one to one experience with the nature giving them a sense of comfort and relaxation in the form of people sitting there dipping their feet in the pond or plucking freshly ripened fruit from the trees or just simply sitting on a bench and enjoying the beauty of the nature around.

CHIDAMBARAM

LOCATION : CHIDAMBARAM, TAMIL NADU.

TYPE : EXHIBITION WORK | SEM VI.

FACULTY : ROHAN SHIVKUMAR & AISHWARYA PADMANABHAN.

The Third Year study of institutions is interested in the ways in which the architecture of the temple town makes a community. The study was to look at a typical South Indian Temple Town, with a central temple complex and concentric rings of caste based streets around. Overall, this study appears to offer valuable insights into the complex interplay between architecture, culture, and societal structures in a South Indian Temple Town like Chidambaram. It underscores the importance of understanding how traditional communities adapt to and resist changes brought about by contemporary forces while preserving their cultural heritage.

MYSTICAL LANDSCAPES

LOCATION : BHOPAL, MADHYA PRADESH

The word ‘Gond’ comes from the Dravidian expression ‘kond’ , meaning green mountain. They believe all lakes, rivers, land, hills, trees along with all life are inhabited by spirit and hence considered sacred. Inspired by their depiction of nature and it’s preservation in the gond art. The form represents, the various cycles of life, flora and fauna intertwined with each other through stories collected in Bhopal such as, their life centered around the manua tree also known as the ‘TREE OF LIFE’‘

Heaven is where there are Mahua trees and hell is where there are none to make their wine’ words of a Gond, and many such stories and myths that show close connections of man with earth, as we sight the dependence on nature not just in myths but as part of their daily practices.
